In the pre-war era and prior to the adoption of leather jackets, knitted jerseys were standard equipment for motorcycle races.

After the wide adoption of zips in the 1930s, Turtlezip Sweater was introduced to motorcycle outfitters' catalogues.

The HALF-ZIP MOTORCYCLE JERSEY features a zipper that runs up to the top of the collar for wind resistance and versatility, as well as a soft but heavy cotton jersey for durability and comfort. The ‘Buco Products’ lettering is felt applique, true to the original application.
